Center for Leadership and Student Involvement (CLSI)

What We Do

We’re a hub for student organizations on campus. CLSI staff members are here to help you build your leadership skills in communication, budget management, delegation, and management of event and group logistics.

We’re here to advise you — student leaders and groups — as you plan your educational and social events throughout the course of the year. Some of the big events we help out with include Dancefest, the Konosioni auction, and Spring Party Weekend.

We also facilitate collaboration between you and other groups on campus. We do so to provide you with opportunities to develop your leadership skills and learn more about yourself and others.
